Is WikiAlerts available without a full Five Blocks engagement?
Yes. WikiAlerts is fully standalone and free to use, with no Five Blocks engagement required. Many users are not Five Blocks clients at all.
WikiAlerts™ is free, standalone, and open to anyone. Users sign up at wikialerts.fiveblocks.com, add the Wikipedia articles they want to monitor, and receive notifications when those articles are edited. No Five Blocks engagement is required. Many users have never been Five Blocks clients and never will be. The tool exists because real-time monitoring of Wikipedia is foundational to any modern reputation program, and making the monitoring layer free lowers the barrier for the rest of the industry. Where users do become clients, WikiAlerts integrates with the rest of the program; where they do not, the tool continues to do its job for free.
